Williams v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• absent an abuse of discretion, we will not disturb a trial court’s determination that similar transaction evidence is admissible
• as to the purpose for which the evidence was admitted, we have held that in crimes involving sexual offenses, evidence of similar previous transactions is admissible to show the lustful disposition of the defendant and to corroborate the victim’s testimony
• trial court did not err in admitting evidence that defendant committed a similar transaction ten years before current offense; any “claim that the prior act was too remote in time goes to the weight and credibility of the evidence, not its admissibility’
